Came back 30mins later, 2 left and now SOLD OUT
Waiting for some decent deals, NEW. I set my price, $450(QTY:3-4 units)
There's nothing wrong with refurbished especially when its coming from the manufacturer. Refurbished can either be items that weren't working but was repaired to spec and quality or it was items returned at stores. Items returned at store can not be resold as new. And they can be from not working or customers just simply don't want it anymore. So retailers ship it back to Canon. They check it, replace the case if anything and re-box it and sells as refurbished.
Refurbs are preferred to some people because its been checked to make sure its working properly and cleaned by a Canon tech and by a human being. With it being brand new, its never been used and no one physically checks it once it rolls off the line.
You also get a 1 year warranty.
